Falcon Watchers Report - 4/7/11
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
If you’ve been keeping up with the tweets left by the Watchers in the field, you know that we’ve been attempting to figure out what was going on at the two possible nest sites in Rochester (NY). A team of Watchers including Kathy O, Dana, Joyce, MAK, Brian H, Lou, Larry O & Carol P have been out until dark the last few days, some Downtown and some at Kodak Park (KP). At both locations, two Falcons had been seen.
We were very excited, thinking we had two different pairs. After awhile, I posted on the forum that we suspected it may have been Archer visiting both locations. When two were spotted at one location, some of the Watchers would check out the other location. We were never able to find Archer downtown when there were two at Kodak Park. We tried hard, driving around for hours looking for Archer, trying to prove that there was a 2nd Tiercel. No luck.
Yesterday, Joyce took pictures of the Tiercel at KP. We now believe that it’s Archer visiting both locations.
Tonite, we had two at KP and one downtown. Beauty was on the Frontier Communication Tower platform, SW corner. We all ended up at KP, Watching the two there. Just before it started getting dark, the Tiercel took off from KP and headed south towards downtown. Dana, Lou, Kathy O and I remained at KP, while Joyce & MAK went downtown to check on Beauty and to see if Archer was there. They reported that Archer was on the Times Square Bldg on the SE ledge above the nest box and Beauty could be seen at the nest box on the cameras. Does it prove 100% that Archer is visiting both locations, no. But we do believe that he is.
We will continue to keep a close eye on the situation and report what we see. Stay tuned!
